Bakemonogatari series is his best work. There's also more to Haruhi than Disappearance. Some of the tracks he did for the original series have essentially become staples of slice of life style anime, copied repeatedly by unknown composers in lower budget anime.

Sawano betweeen the two of them
But Shiro Sagisu is the best >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5Qo9iAB9q0 (NGE)>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McVcPcnJ48M (Magi)>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqCYU-qkYQM (Bleach)

Sure, Sawano and Iwasaki make a few epic themes in each series, songs worth listening to on their own outside the anime, but I don't think composers should be judged on how their music stands alone. It's how it works in the context of the anime that counts. That's what it was intended for in the first place.

The way I see it, tere are 3 different types of anime composers: the bombastic composers who can steal the show entirely (Kanno, Iwasaki, Sawano), the composers who work like film composers and make amazing compliments to the actual show (Hisaishi, Sagisu, Maeda), and the type who fit somewhere in the middle (Tatsuya, Susumu, Taniuchi).

I personally prefer the first type. You don't see that sort of use of music in any other medium and it makes for a pretty unique experience.
